Athletics & Cross-Country
Speed, Strength, Skill
Supporting every level from grass roots development to talent & performance pathway.
Cross Country is in our blood, with the beautiful valley in which Monkton sits, providing fantastic training opportunities. Our endurance running club trains throughout the year.
We take teams to a number of competitions locally. In recent years our athletes have achieved great success, gaining county representation to compete at a regional level.
Our annual inter-House Cross Country is an event not to be missed, with huge participation and elite competition. Pupils from every year group race around the School site to earn all important points for their Houses.
Athletics is offered as one of our summer term sports to pupils in all year groups. This provides twice weekly training sessions with expert coaches, and the opportunity to represent the school in regular competitions. For some of our pupils, this leads on to progress through the BaNES and English Schools Pathways.
A number of our athletes also utilise our close proximity to the excellent facilities at the University of Bath Sports Training Village, and connections to Team Bath AC, training and competing with this local club. In addition, the School makes use of these facilities, hosting our annual Senior Sports Day at the University track.
